I have St. Augustine grass, does anyone know if this will work for that thicker type of grass?

The only thing I've had a hard time mowing through is tall weeds/rushes. The front bar will push them down, the blade then cannot cut the plant. To be honest I don't know what grass I have, but I am on GA, so it very well may be St. Augustine.

Yes! I have a different variety of grass in each separate area of my yard, and the reel mower does especially well in the areas with thicker grass like St. Augustine.

Works great, but there are different ornimental grasses, some are big as elephants. Mine are 3-4 feet tall, I like to place a tie around the bundle tohold them steady and get an even cut. Actually works like any hedge trimmer.No Problem.

Yes, the herbicide works on broadleaf weeds and not grasses. If you follow the label directions, the fescue should be fine.

I personally had a hard time using this tool to edge around my grass, and wound up sending it back. If you have good leg strength, maybe it will work.

It works GREAT on tall weeds. The only place it bogs down is with thick stalks, such as greater than 1/2 inch in diameter.

No, it will be too thick and will not feed. I am using mine cut to length on a Craftsman push type trimmer to cut heavy grass in a steep sided ditch at the front of my property that I cannot safely cut with my riding mower. I use it around the barn and other places that it works better than a traditional line trimmer. I use a medium weight line trimmer with .095 line for most of my trim work.

I don't know if it will work on artificial turf. It works great on brick pavers and concrete picking up large leaves small sticks, sand and dirt.

Our plugger is not ideal for St. Augustine grass, especially if you're wanting to cut up pieces of sod to plant in your lawn. It does a better job of transplanting St Augustine from one part of your yard to another but because we're never sure what folks are intending to do with the 5-IN-1, we feel better stating that it is not recommended for St Augustine. There are some pluggers which pull a larger plug which is better suited for this particular grass type. They are square and pull one plug at a time. Hope this helps. Thanks, Bill (ProPlugger)

I too have St. Augustine grass and after 15 minutes of attempted grass cutting Scotts 20" was retired. It stayed in my garage until recently when I contacted my garbage hauler who will drag the over rated beast away. Good riddance!!!

I use a light 1/2 tsp MSN per Gal. to spot spray for dollar week in St Augustine grass. Too much MSN will kill you grass. You can also call the Landscaper Store at 561-329-5072. Good luck with your weeds. It will control dollar weed in St Augustine but you have to treat about ever 6 weeks till you get it under control. Follow the label instructions. This also is dependent on the square area your sprayer will cover. Too be really safe star by spraying 100 sq ft or so and wait 4-6 weeks to see how you grass is doing.

I did & no problems but I can't guarantee it- If I were u I would call my County Extension agent & inquire because I'm in SE TX & I have no idea about your area. Most of the grass here is St Augustine but after I lived in MO I wanted fescue so I planted it & it has done well here

I used Luster Leaf 1612 for my lawn in Eugene, OR. Read my review for this product and my procedure to see if it will work for you.

It does not look like St Augustine at all but it should work. We were in S. Fl and put it down in Nov and Dec. It did very well both times, watering nightly. I hope that helps.
